Since my time here in La Bisbal, I’ve been fascinated by the light, the shadows, the river El Daró, and the site-specific tiles. The light here really is different—the height of the sun, the way it falls on the houses and is reflected back from them.

Working in a former ceramics factory and being surrounded by tiles has also inspired me. Doors and entrances are something I’ve always been drawn to, but here that interest has taken on a new intensity. These are geometric forms that I explore through painting fields of color.

What interests me is the moment when color shifts into spatiality—when it begins to create a sense of space—and when it develops depth. This can then become more representational or remain abstract.

In these ten works, and in all the works created here, I have tried to express this fascination. And of course, the light has also led to a more intense use of color.
